Ok. My Tao Tao Lancer 150 is driving me crazy. New issue

Sounds like a carb issue, needs cleaned/adjusted. Your charging issue is another issue altogether I would think.

Mawby,
I have a Lancer too.
After I had done some minor carb tweaks, I had an issue with mine idling. I had to step up the A/F mixture quite a bit. I have re-jetted mine and added a cone, air filter; my mixture screw is turned out so far that it's almost loose ... I even put a dab of silicone on it to keep it from moving. Some might say this is too far, but it was done to achieve a decent idle. I check my plug for lean/rich and it looks good.
As for the charging issue, I had a problem with mine charging. It would continually loose charge to the point it would be hard to start, then I'd have to put a battery charger on it. I swapped regulators, checked the stator, but nothing seemed to help. I found the problem being wired incorrectly at the R/R. I experimented with jumpers, trying different pin combinations at the R/R, until I had blazing headlights and solid charging V. I now put out about 14v while cruising and haven't had a charger on the bike since Winter.
